Today, my obsessive stalker of an ex found my girlfriend on Facebook and sent her a message saying just ":)". For some reason I'll never understand, she took this as a sign that I'd just slept with my ex. Now I'm single, and my ex is probably planning her next move. FML

What you expect his girlfriend to believe every word that came out of OPs mouth? I suspect OP is much like the boy who cried wolf. Once you're caught in a lie that trust is gone, and you need to rebuild it. To pretend it's still there just means you are lying to yourself.

It was a damn smiley face over a frickin Facebook message from a crazy ex. If she ain't willing to consider what he says over it, then good riddance to her!

People sometimes lie about stuff, but if you actually care, you give them more chances to prove that they don't lie. I realize that's really hard, but if you truly care, you at least hear them out, especially when you don't have any real evidence of anything.

You make it seem like you have some divine understanding of OP's relationship. I think if she's willing to read that far into a Facebook message ( and you really have to stretch it from smiley face to infidelity) OP deserves better.

You are right, I don't know OP at all and you probably think I'm an ass for pretending to have "divine understanding", but I'd like to think I live in a world where relationships don't end because of a smiley face. I guess I was wrong.

Relationships have ended over not favoriting a picture on Twitter. We make fun of those people, but they exist. Sometimes people want out and are just looking for an excuse, and they'll take what they can get no matter how ridiculous it is.

Yeah, I've got a batshit crazy ex-girlfriend, and a restraining order wouldn't do anything. 20+ blocked numbers, and I've had to change my phone number, as well as my girlfriends. And she somehow got my new number. Crazy exes suck.

Maybe your girlfriend got scared of the crazy one, so she put that excuse to break up with you and escape from that situation. With that being said, you need to report the crazy ex to the authorities so you can have a normal life. Good luck!
